hey bestie 💖 welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for i40e_aq_add_macvlan(9). The function name is giving “I was generated by a build script,” but the job is lowkey simple: add MAC/VLAN addresses to the hardware filtering. We’re keeping every detail, every argument, and every single SEE ALSO reference, no cap. ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

i40e_aq_add_macvlan — okay so the original NAME line is literally i40e_aq_add_macvlan - and then nothing, which is mysterious main character energy. It’s the function for adding MAC/VLAN addresses to the HW filtering, and we’re obsessed. 💅

int i40e_aq_add_macvlan (struct i40e_hw *hw , u16 seid , struct
       i40e_aqc_add_macvlan_element_data *mv_list , u16 count , struct
       i40e_asq_cmd_details *cmd_details );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • hw — pointer to the hw struct. literally the hardware struct pointer, periodt.
  • seid — VSI for the mac address. that’s the vibe.
  • mv_list — list of macvlans to be added. yes, she contains multitudes.
  • count — length of the list. no guessing, it’s the length.
  • cmd_details — pointer to command details structure or NULL.
